There is also LIFT ACCESS TO ALL LEVELS, AN AUDIO AND VISUAL SECURITY ENTRY SYSTEM and 24 HOUR EMERGENCY CARELINE RESPONSE SYSTEM.
AMENITIES: The development is situated in a popular and extremely convenient location, to the north-west of Leeds (approximately four miles from the city centre) and is also ideally placed for access, by car, to the commercial centres of Leeds and Bradford and also the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. There is the advantage of regular public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university, on the nearby Otley Road - which is only three or four minutes easy level walking distance. On the opposite side of Otley Road there are also public transport facilities to the active historic market town of Otley, the former spa town of Ilkley and the market town of Skipton. There are local shopping parades - near the development and more extensive shopping facilities can be found in Headingley (about two thirds of a mile away), Horsforth, Moortown and Meanwood - which is only a few minutes drive by car, and has a Waitrose supermarket. The famous Golden Acre Park is approximately three and a half miles away and barely 15 minutes drive by car (also on a bus route) and lovely open countryside is a similar distance. Leeds and Bradford Airport is about 20 minutes drive and The Village Hotel and Leisure Club about half a mile away. The "VIBRANT" AREA OF HEADINGLEY has an excellent choice of shopping facilities, a mix of trendy bars and traditional flagged floor pubs and popular restaurants, as well as other leisure facilities including both the Headingley cricket and rugby grounds. Cottage Road Cinema is literally only a few minutes walking distance from the development and there is a well known fish and chip shop/restaurant and a local pub both of which are only three or four minutes walk from St Chads Court. A leisurely 20 minute walk will take you to parkland - which forms part of the Meanwood Valley Trail and also leads to The Hollies Park and woodland, providing delightful walks and rambles, and also where there are tennis courts.
DIRECTIONS: FROM OUR WEST PARK OFFICE proceed on the Otley Road (A660) in the direction of Headingley, for approximately two thirds of a mile and a short distance BEFORE reaching the junction with Weetwood Lane (virtually opposite St Chad's Church) turn left into St Chad's Road, when the entrance to the development is a very short way along on the left.
